Is it me, or is this site VERY expensive?
I've not been on there before seeing this thread, and I can't see anything worth buying even with £15 off a £30 spend for the first order (obviously I'd be a new customer).
The electricals dept was extrememly overpriced, the childrens clothes far more than I would ever dream of paying in the high street...
I'm not trying to be the pessimist, just an honest question.. Am I missing something?0 -

its a catalogue company so yes it is overpriced
they all are and thats how they make money
overprice items
encourage those on low income to purchase and spread the cost to make it easier to pay
make even more money on the interest
welcome to the world of catalogues :-/0 -
Thanks for this. Just ordered a pair of school trousers for the little one for 99p. ;DSome people see the glass half full, others see the glass half empty - the enlightened are simply grateful to have a glass0

I got something in the post from them today proclaiming "Your Hi-Speed Microwave Cooker FREE!" I'd be interested to know if anybody else has seen this offer and what they make of it.
The accompanying flyer shows a picture of a microwave oven with a dish inside. At the bottom of the page, in small writing, I was puzzled to read, "Microwave oven not included, shown for illustrative purposes only!"
Would I be right in thinking that the freebie isn't actually a microwave oven but rather the dish shown inside it?! If so, this seems to me to be rather disingenuous. The flyer claims "your gift will enable you to: cook fabulous snacks in minutes..." Wow - that really is some dish!
However, also included is a £10 off discount on the first order. I may "buy" a £10 pair of jeans for nothing and claim my free dish!0 -
Just placed an order and the £10.00 was deducted from the total - so fingers crossed i dont get a cancellation email.0
